Asthma Symptoms Interactive Physical Play and Socio-emotional and Academic Outcomes in Urban Children with Persistent Asthma

摘要

Objectives:Asthma may lead to reduced participation in interactive physical play (IPP). Urban youth with asthma are also at risk for behavioral and academic difficulties. Exploring associations between asthma, IPP, and socio-emotional and academic outcomes in children with asthma is important. Study objectives are to: 1) Describe IPP participation among school children with persistent asthma; 2) Determine if IPP varies with asthma severity; 3) Determine independent associations of both asthma severity and IPP with socio-emotional and academic outcomes.
